The only feature of the Pennsylvania
republican platform that is of general in
terest is its substantial endorsement of
Blaine for denomination. As Pennsylvania
casts more republican votes than any
state in the union, with a single excep-
ton, her voice should and no doubt will
be listened to with respect in the national
convention. 1t is the most significant
straw that has yet appeared to show
which way the wind will blow in eighty
eight as far as the republican side of the
house is concerned. Sherman is resi-
dent of Ohio and that states endorsement
of his candidacy may be considered as
merely perfunctory Pennsylvania. on
the contrary, is differently situated. She
has no fayorite son and her action may
therefore be taken as rejecting pretty acN
curatcly the predominant sentiment
among our friends the enemy. The se>
lection of the next republican candidate
for the presidency will be dictated not by
states with fayorite sons, but by those
which. like Pennsylvania, occupy an in-
dependent position. The remainder of
the platform is composed of those mouldy
chestnuts that have for so long period
done service for the republican party in
the place of living issues OF course it is
the time honored privilege of the OPPOSE
ton to abuse the party in power, whether
there are any Just grounds for doing so
or not; so the Pennsylvania republicans
consider themselves in duty bound to
make faces at President Cleveland and
speak of the general imbecIlity" of his
administration. This is followed by the
usual attack upon the south and the
customary reference to the war that end
ed twenty-five years ago. They also
think that the infant industries OF the
country need further nursing. although
they have now been nurtured with an
average custom. house tax of fOrty-iv
per cent. for over quarter of a century.
They express a strong desire to. restore
the American flag to the seas, unmindful
of the fact that it is republican legislation
that has practically obliterated the Amer
lean merchant marine. There is not a
whisper in the platform about the reduc,
ton of the war rate of taxation. Far
from that, and in order to make a reduc-
ton impossible. it is proposed to dstri~
butte the surplus among the ex-soldiers
according to their needs, thus practically
offering the public money as bride to
voters 1t is upon these issues that the
Pennsylvania republicans ask the people
to return them to power, these and-Jim

the important news that the entire outfit of
the contractors turned out and by working
like beavers all Saturday succeeded in con-
structing the grade across the lots for which
the injunction was issued. There is great re-
joicing over the news
The telegram announcing the issue of the

about 8 o'clock, but he tore it up saying he
guessed it would have to wait The people
in the city are fairly wild with delight over
the news They are ready to turn out to a

when finally he fell into the power of his

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug % Recent dispatches
from this city regarding the condition of the
state treasury may lead to erroneous impress
sons. 1t is only the general fund that is ex-
hausted, and this is a temporary affair that
frequently happens. The other funds are not
depleted, and it has been the custom of
former treasurers to borrow temporarily
from these, However, money will soon be
coming in from the various counties and
then the revenue of state after the commence
ment of the next fiscal year, Nov. l, will re-
penish the treasury. There is nothing in the
situation that will in anywise affect the
credit of the state.
